Conservatives say stupid shit

No, that's just his head.

It was not immediately clear if the 100 million euros spent by the government on maintaining the Royal House, with its castles and parades, would be included in the austerity cuts.

Yes, it was. No, it's not.

I'm not sure who's dumber, Steve King or Peter King. They're both really fucking dumb.

Poor Steven King, sharing a name.

[The Man]

Stephen. I guess he can distance himself with the three-letter difference? I imagine the musicians Joe Walsh and Scott Walker are pretty fucking disappointed about the teabaggers who share their names too. Walsh actually played a fundraiser for the teabagger's opponent in her successful campaign against him.

And then, of course, there's Terry Jones. A venerable Monty Python member deserved better than that

Don't get me started on James fucking O'Keefe. Two damn letters different doesn't make it feel any better that he's ruining my good name.

Harry Binswanger (real name) writes about Goldman Sachs in Forbes that it's time for the 99% to give back to the 1%.

In it, he declares Lloyd Blankfein (head of Goldman Sachs) more worthy of moral praise than Mother Teresa*.

Here's Matt Taibbi talking about this idiocy

*While Mother Teresa is not nearly so nice as she's made out to be, I doubt that he had her critics in mind when he made the comparison. Even so, she's miles above Lloyd Blankfein either way.

Once in awhile it's useful to revisit some of the greatest hits of the 2012 election, just to remind ourselves who we are up against. This wasn't some random beer-drinking redneck; this was a county judge:

Official Stirs Texas City With Talk of Rebellion

By MANNY FERNANDEZ


LUBBOCK, Tex. — A hearing on a proposed tax increase had just started at the county courthouse here Monday when Grace Rogers, a retired teacher, addressed local leaders. Ms. Rogers said she supported the idea of increasing the property tax by 1.7 cents to 34.6 cents per $100 valuation from 32.9 cents to finance the hiring of additional sheriff’s deputies — with one reservation.

It was that, she said, “it does not fund a paramilitary to create an insurrection and rebellion against the United States.”

Her comments might have sounded absurd at some other time, in some other place. But these days in Lubbock, a West Texas city known as the birthplace of the 1950s rock ’n’ roll pioneer Buddy Holly, Ms. Rogers’s request was timely and appropriate, under the circumstances.

A few days before, the county’s top elected official, County Judge Tom Head, made an appearance on a local television station to generate support for the tax increase. He said he was expecting civil unrest if President Obama is re-elected, and that the president would send United Nations forces into Lubbock, population 233,740, to stop any uprising.

“He is going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the U.N.,” Mr. Head said on Fox 34 last week. “O.K., what’s going to happen when that happens? I’m thinking worst-case scenario: civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war, maybe. And we’re not talking just a few riots here and demonstrations. We’re talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms and get rid of the guy.”

I wonder if anyone followed up with this malfunctioning wingnutter judge to ask about his predictions of mass civil disobedience if Obama got elected. It's this kind of fucking idiot that should be removed from office.

[Angakuk]

I don't see how you can be so completely clueless. It was right there in Obama's master plan. Lubbock was at the very top of the list of places to be ground under the iron bootheel of U.N. oppression. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean that it won't happen, probably very soon. I am giving you this warning at great personal risk. Please don't make my potential sacrifice a meaningless gesture by ignoring this warning.

Didn't compare your skeptics to Nazi appeasers, Senator Cruz? Is that your new denial?

Sen. Cruz forgets that teh intarwebs have a long memory - especially when he made the comments only a few days ago. You be the judge:

Here's what Cruz said Tuesday during his floor speech, as TPM reported.

"If you go to the 1940s, Nazi Germany," Cruz said. "Look, we saw in Britain, Neville Chamberlain, who told the British people, 'Accept the Nazis. Yes, they'll dominate the continent of Europe but that's not our problem. Let's appease them. Why? Because it can't be done. We can't possibly stand against them.'"

"And in America there were voices that listened to that," he continued. "I suspect those same pundits who say it can't be done, if it had been in the 1940s we would have been listening to them. Then they would have made television. They would have gotten beyond carrier pigeons and beyond letters and they would have been on TV and they would have been saying, 'You cannot defeat the Germans.'"

It's nice seeing at least some of these people actually being fired for the stupid shit they are saying.

Conspiracy O’ The Week: Erik Rush Says Obama Did Navy Yard Massacre So He Wouldn’t Be Arrested For Plan To Nuke DC

From the comments:

Wait a second. Did I miss the part about Hillary Clinton leading her lesbian Valkyrie army across the Anacostia, sacking the Capitol building, and disemboweling Eric Cantor in front of the Air and Space Museum? Because that totally could've happened, also too.

I can come up with a better conspiracy off the top of my head, how about this: Obama assembled a supersecret cabal of evil veterinarians whose sole purpose is to make sure no American child ever knows the happiness of a new puppy or kitty. He codenamed it Operation Fifty Shades of Spay.

Unskewed Polls founder Dean Chambers says Obama is the first gay president, not because he approves of gay marriage, but because Barack Obama is actually gay, cites several conspiracy nut websites. And being gay is why Obama cannot possibly be Muslim.

Unless I'm remembering Lies My Teacher Told Me wrong, Woodrow Wilson is the president who segregated the White House after reconstruction had integrated it. As such, I really don't find the idea of Woodrow Wilson White in the least bit progressive. Regressive, maybe.
